IN-243B appeared, initially, more or less typical of any Bering Strait iceberg. It was only after we started harvesting that we noticed the irregularities in the onboard seismograph. Something was emitting a high pitch frequency, that at first we took to be tectonic interference. But it soon became clear it was linked to the subject contained within IN-243B.
The first party to make visual contact saw it through six feet of ice. It's form was vague through the warping of the light. As eager excavations continued, it soon became clear that it was not just biological matter that was contained within the berg, but also samples of a previously unknown metal. Their purpose seems obvious now, knowing what we know, but I think it is worth clarifying. They were restraints, attached to something carefully and purposefully imprisoned a long, long time ago.
